STATEMENT: Mauro Milanese to become manager

After a tricky couple of months, and in order for the club to be closer to the players, as of tomorrow (Monday) Mauro Milanese will take charge as team manager with Kevin Nugent as coach.

Having worn the shirt of QPR in England and great Italian clubs such as Inter, Napoli and Parma, as well as being a graduate of the prestigious Converciano coaching and management centre, Mauro will be an important fixture on the Orient bench providing an effective, hands-on presence for the players.
